Walking for Water 2017
Campaign by Jeevika Trust (RCN 291167)
Join us on Sunday 15 October 2017 for a 6-mile walk in Bushy Park. Help us restore reservoirs and build wells to stop women and children walking miles in extreme heat to fetch water in rural India.

Story

Did you know almost 60 million people in rural India lack access to safe water to drink or cook with? Did you also know that women and children in rural India often walk up to 6 miles a day in extreme heat just to fetch clean water?

We always knew our little Wonder Woman was destined to change the world and at the age of 5 she is taking her first steps to make the world a better place!

So on Sunday 22nd October Amelia will be taking on a 6 mile challenge with two of her best friends Harry and Stanley for Jeevika Trust, an Indian Livelihood charity who help give more children in India access to safe, clean water that we take for granted every day.

Whilst 6 miles might not be a huge challenge for most adults, Amelia only has little legs (she is only 5 years old after all!) so this will be a big challenge but we know she will smash it!

The money raised from this 6 mile challenge will go towards restoring reservoirs and building wells to stop women and children having to walk miles every day in extreme heat to fetch water in rural India.

We would love it if as many of you as possible could get behind her and sponsor her, no amount is too big or too small, and every bit of support will really help Amelia to get over that finish line.

We couldn’t be prouder of our little superstar for taking on this challenge and doing something so wonderful for people less fortunate than herself.
